  • Patent number: 10732176
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for identification of specific target proteins in a protein sample following a detection procedure, such as a Western blotting procedure, wherein the membrane is probed with at least two primary antibodies directed against the same and/or different epitopes of the same target protein, and wherein specific binding to the target protein in a sample is differentiated from unspecific binding to the target protein by comparing the resulting sample patterns, such as bands or spot patterns, with each other. In a further step signals from the true target proteins are enhanced while signals resulting from unspecific binding are diminished.

  • Patent number: 9383335
    Abstract: Electrophoresis gel cassette comprising a first and a second face wall member and one or more side wall members defining a gel compartment for a gel member with a first and second face, wherein at least a section of each one of the first and second face wall member is removable to expose a section of both the first and second face of the gel member essentially corresponding to the separation zone while the gel member is preserved in the cassette.

  • Publication number: 20150177186
    Abstract: Electrophoresis gel unit comprising a flat gel member with an upper and a lower face and a sample separation zone, wherein the gel member is attached to a rigid support arranged to preserve the shape of and to facilitate handling of the gel member, wherein the rigid support is formed to allow access to a section of both the upper and lower face of the gel member essentially corresponding to the separation zone.

  • Publication number: 20150144492
    Abstract: Electrophoresis gel cassette comprising a first and a second face wall member and one or more side wall members, defining a gel compartment for a gel member with a first and second face, wherein the first face wall member has high gel adhesion compared to the second face wall member, whereby a gel member molded in the cassette will stay attached to the high gel adhesion face wall member when the cassette is opened, and wherein the first face wall member is provided with at least one removable section to expose a section of the first face of the gel member, the removable section of the first face wall member having lower gel adhesion compared to the non-removable part of the first face wall member.

  • Patent number: 8187438
    Abstract: This invention relates to electrophoresis, in particular pre-cast mini gels with a low fluorescent polymer backing that is not adherent to the gel. Use of this type of small gel simplifies blotting procedures, such as Southern and Western blotting, after electrophoresis.

  • Publication number: 20090186366
    Abstract: A method of detecting protein interactions in a biological sample. Protein components in a first aliquot of a sample are labelled with a first bifunctional dye which cross-links any-interacting components. A second aliquot of said sample functions as a control sample, in which protein components are labelled with a different, mono functional dye. Thereafter, the two aliquots are mixed and all components are separated by electrophoresis. Finally, differences in luminescence of the separated dye-labelled components are detected. The two dyes should match one another with regard to charge and/or molecular weight but should emit different kinds of fluorescent light.
